What are 
numeracy 
moments?

www.pdst . ie 
 Numeracy is NOT LIMITED to the ability to use numbers, to 
add, subtract, multiply and divide. 
 Numeracy encompasses the ability to use mathematical 
understanding and skills to solve problems and meet the 
demands of day-to-day living in complex social settings. 
 Numeracy involves being able to: 
• Think and communicate quantitatively 
• Make sense of data 
• Have a spatial awareness 
• Understand patterns and sequences 
• Recognise situations where mathematical reasoning can be 
applied to solve problems. 
(National Literacy & Numeracy Strategy, 2011)

Numeracy 
• There are opportunities to 
acquire numeracy skills and 
concepts in History. 
• Questioning, explanations, justifications and higher 
order thinking should be used and explored where 
appropriate. 
• Where numeracy arises in a natural, uncontrived 
manner the language, procedure, and concept should 
be dealt with in a manner that is consistent to that of 
the mathematics department.

Numeracy 
In history certain topics 
give rise to opportunities 
for subject teachers to 
reinforce common 
language, procedures, and 
concepts that students 
experience in mathematics 
lessons
www.pdst . ie 
Can you identify 
numeracy moments 
in the teaching of 
the History syllabi?

Number, Money & Measure Data Handling 
• Are students encouraged to estimate, 
calculate and check their answers? 
• Are the approaches used in line with 
and of the same standard as those the 
students would use in mathematics 
lessons? 
• Where appropriate is the concept of 
bias discussed in lessons? 
• Are students encouraged to choose 
appropriate graphical representations? 
• Are students encouraged to retrieve, 
interpret and draw conclusions from 
the data presented? 
• Can students identify and give 
examples of primary and secondary 
data? 
Shape and Space Relationships & Patterns 
• Are students encouraged to estimate, 
calculate and check various 
measurements? 
• Are students encouraged to use 
appropriate units of measure? 
• Can students identify the architectural 
features from key periods in history? 
• Are students encouraged to make 
connections between cause and 
effect?
